Road trip!

Not one, but two members of a Coupeville clan are off to Iowa in July for a prestigious spiker tournament.

Days after big sis Lyla Stuurmans earned a slot on the U19 team, incoming Wolf freshman Tenley Stuurmans was picked for the U15 Puget Sound Region All-Star volleyball squad.

As one of 12 players on their respective teams, the sisters are off to Des Moines July 16-22 for the USA Volleyball All-Star tournament, where they will clash with rivals from other regions.

While Tenley is still young, she’s already making a huge impact on the Coupeville sports scene.

As an 8th grader, she played for both high school and middle school teams.

She started the year pounding spikes for CMS volleyball, then got two seasons on the hardwood during the winter.

Tenley and her fellow 8th graders played on the high school JV basketball team, before suiting up for middle school hoops.

Finally, in the spring, Lyla’s precocious sister picked up a racket and made it all the way to the state tournament in her debut as a high school varsity tennis player.
